This study analyzed the influence of consumers' perceptions and benefits sought from Hanbok on purchasing behavior. Selection criteria and purchase intentions were used to study Hanbok purchase behavior. Data were collected from 332 female respondents between the ages of 20 and 50 using questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS. Hanbok perception was determined by three factors: pride, development potential, and appearance suitability. Benefits sought from Hanbok were determined by another set of three factors: personality, tradition, and comfort. In selecting Hanbok, pride and development potential influenced design, and pride influenced convenience. All perception factors influenced Hanbok purchase intentions, with development potential being the most important factor. As for Hanbok benefits, consumers were classified into three groups: groups seeking high-quality Hanbok, groups seeking tradition/personality, and groups seeking comfort. When selecting Hanbok, design was less important to the group seeking comfort than the other two groups. The group seeking high-quality Hanbok valued convenience the most and had the highest purchase intentions.
